The press has made much of Richard Mellon Scaife, billionaire family-values-maven for the Wall Street Right, conducting his trysts in Doug's Motel, where a room can be rented in three hour time blocks for $28. Let those who are without sin cast the first stone. Before I was born again as a Morals Tutor to America's Wealthiest Families, while I was still an apprentice Dungeon Master to the Stars in WB, I often conducted Private Client Engagements in cheaper places than Doug's Motel, sometimes even in the alley, out behind the Dumpster. Of course that was when I was young and foolish, before June 1 three years ago, to be exact, when I was arrested for public indecency and found God in detox with the help of Chuck Colson. Now, that I am born again I try to set an example, matching my precepts to my practice. Those of you who may have seen me in Doug's Motel recently can be assured that I am ministering to my Billionaire Flock. (By the way, why were you there?) Jesus and I take more pleasure in the black sheep who returns to the fold than to all the good sheep put together. I only wish I had done more. All too often, driven by our own selfish desire to make a client happy in the short term, we spare the rod and spoil the wealthy person permanently. As Values-Based Planners, we let Dickie down. The damage to society has been incalculable. That will rest heavy on our consciences for a long, long time.
